Hi,
I found out myself and my 2 girls (2.5yrs and 13months old) are gluten intolerant about 6 months ago. I have found it a real challenge changing our diet. Here are a couple of low gluten (not gluten free) ideas to try. we seem to be able to tolerate a small amount of gluten.
Breakie - I have started making my own granola as the comercial ones don't taste nice or are loaded with preservatives (1/3 oats, 1/3 puffed rice, 1/3 cornflakes, chopped almonds and brazil nuts, shreded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and seaseme seeds. Melt some butter, coconut oil and honey/maple syrup in a saucepan and pour over, mix. Put in 180 deg oven for 30 mins, stirring ever 10 mins. Cool. Add in chopped dried fruit of choice i.e. sultanas, crasins, apricots, apples, dates). Yum.
My girls also like fruit smoothies for breakie (banana, berries, pear, natural yoghurt, honey/maple syrup, milk).
Lunchs - we like eating Corn mountain bread wraps, frittata's, zucchini slice, soups, rice paper rolls, dinner leftovers.
Good luck!
